How do I create a composite service?

Purpose

Use this procedure to create a composite service. A composite service allows users to configure multiple service types simultaneously, then execute those service types as a single service. The parameters that are available to you is dependant on the intent type that is associated with the service template you select, and may differ from those described in this procedure, which assumes the Nokia-provided composite service template is being used. The Nokia-provided composite service template allows for the configuration of both an L3 VPN and an E-Line service.
